Brief Summary

Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are at high risk of injuries, often related to overexertion while lifting or carrying patients or equipment. They require a high level of functional fitness to operate safely and avoid injuries. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore feasibility and assess effects of multimodal chiropractic care on Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores among EMS students.
